Development[edit]
After the success of Oh My Kadavule in 2020, Silambarasan appreciated Ashwath Marimuthu for the success of the film. This led to reporters claiming that they would collaborate for the latter's directorial after.[1] Reports of a potential collaboration between the director and actor continued through January 2022, with AGS Entertainment being reported to fund the project.[2][3] Ritika Singh, who played the lead female in Oh My Kadavule, would reportedly be paired opposite Silambarasan, while Leon James, who scored the music for the film, would do the same for the venture.[4] However, due to unspecified reasons, the project was shelved. Silambarasan began working on STR 48, helmed by Desingh Periyasamy, and Ashwath began the same for the Telugu remake of Oh My Kadavule.[5]
In late December 2023, Pradeep Ranganathan, who has known and been a long-time friend of Ashwath Marimuthu, was reported to collaborate with the latter for his third acting film after Love Today (2022) and Love Insurance Corporation.[6] It was reported to be the same story which was narrated to Silambarasan, with AGS Entertainment, which produced Love Today, also funding the project, in their second collaboration with Pradeep.[7][8] The company made a public announcement on 10 April 2024, confirming the project, tentatively titled #PradeepAshwathCombo and #AGS26.[9] Ashwath and Pradeep retained most of the team from their previous films, including composer Leon James, editor Pradeep E. Ragav, and publicity designer Kabilan Chelliah; S. M. Venkat Manickam was appointed as the executive producer by the production house, while cinematographer Niketh Bommi was chosen to handle the cinematography, in his maiden collaboration with both Pradeep and Ashwath.[10]
